To create a special attack, we need to fill the special attack gauge that is located on the upper left of the screen, below the hearts. For Urbosa and Vah Naboris, the special attack gauge is below their thunder gauge. To fill a gauge, attack enemies like Bokoblins and Lizafos. The gauge will be full and have the letter 'A' marked on it. Press the A button to activate the special attack. If you do a special attack on a key enemy, the enemy will get stunned and you'll get a chance to attack their weak point gauge.

A Special Attack, also parsed as Special-Attack, is a type of powerful offensive move characters can perform in Hyrule Warriors and Age of Calamity. It can only be performed when at least one segment of the Special Attack gauge is full, which is primarily done by defeating enemies.

Hyrule Warriors

The Special Attack gauge is filled by defeating enemies, collecting Force Fragments or drinking upgraded potions from the Apothecary. Characters begin with one segment in the gauge, and can gain two more by crafting Fierce Deity Mask badges in the Badge Market. The other type of badge which affects the Special Attack gauge is the Din's Fire line, which increases the speed the gauge fills when defeating enemies.

Force Fragments are found in grass or jars. The smallest Fragment refills a third of a segment, a medium Fragment refills one segment, and a large Fragment fully replenishes the gauge.

The potions available are improved by collecting Gold Skulltula Tokens. A Purple or Blue Potion fills half of one Special Attack gauge segment, a Green Potion refills a whole segment, and a Yellow Potion refills one-and-a-half segments, in addition to replenishing hearts.

Age of Calamity

In Age of Calamity, Special Attack gauges can only be filled by defeating enemies. Each character begins with one Special-Attack Gauge segment, and can gain two more through certain Quests. The Quest Inner Knowing improves the rate at which the gauge fills for all characters.

Using a Special Attack on an enemy will, if it doesn't defeat them outright, stun them and reveal their Weak Point Gauge.
